Eden

46

The tree is beautiful and they call her Eden. Her branches reach for the stars. She is like all other trees on planet Earth save for her enormous size. Still, she has leaves and she has bark. She turns sunlight into life. But this tree does not sprout from the dirt. Eden fills the sky, high in orbit above the blue expanse of Uranus. There she changes humanity's very concept of extraterrestrial life. Dr. Malcolm Green is sent to Eden to audit a science team studying this extraordinary tree from the dark confines of space station Lola. But with unexplainable accidents plaguing the team, tensions are mounting between scientists and custodial staff. Is there a future for this project and Lola? Only Malcolm Green can make that call. From the second he sets foot on Lola, Malcolm’s own future becomes at stake. He soon finds that love, friendship, and his own mortality tremble like a leaf at the sound of Eden's call. Eden is the latest podcast fiction offering from Phil Rossi, author of Crescent and Notes from the Vault.

    Excellent
    Like all of Phil Rossi’s work that I’ve read/listened to this is a very dark and engrossing story.

    Sorry Phil...
    This one didn't do much for me., I kept waiting for something exciting to happen but it never did. Not sure if this was supposed to be sic-fi or horror or a psych-thriller.

    This wasn't toobad
    This is worth listening to. The author reading it kept my attention. Although I didnt understand it fully, it was a good listen.

    Bizarre, vague, boring.
    I really don't know what to say about this novella. "Empty" would probably be a good word, as in virtually nothing actually happens. The book boils down to a few personality-devoid characters endlessly talking about how weird it is that a tree is floating through space. The author manages to talk for a couple hours but say absolutely nothing. Seriously, that's it. The story can be called "weak" at best. No action, no thrills, no chills. Some of this author's other books at least managed to fit in a few exciting parts, this is a total bore start to finish. The best part was when it was over, and I could quit waiting for it to get better. As with Mr. Rossi's other books, the ending is virtually nonexistant. No climax or resolution, it just randomly ends. Apparently some people thought this was spooky and creepy, and these people are probably also afraid of their own shadow. Skip this one, there's much better ways to spend a couple hours, like watching a pot of water boil, or perhaps observe the finer points of drying paint. Or listen to AM radio static.

    Amazing!
    Incredibly original story. Great narrative. WOW! It just blew me away. Thank you Mr. Rossi.
  • IveHadBetter
    A waste
    It attempts to find some meaning I guess, but it's actually just creepy, nebulous, meaningless, depressing.
  • Melanie3
    Nice
    Great story :)
  • Fyreblazer
    Awesome
    This is yet another great podiobook by Phil Rossi. This and "Cresent" are some of the best Space stories I've read/heard that don't stray too far from reality yet, puts you in another one complete with suspense. My only problem with this one is while the ending is VERY interesting, I don't think it was as strong as the end of "Cresent". Still, this is a story that once you start listening you can't stop AND you'll want to hear more. Please Mr. Rossi, I need Cresent 2!!
  • Scott "Capt. Eucalyptus" Roche
    Roots in the Twilight Zone and leaves in the Outer Limits...
    This is a story you definitely want to put in your ear buds, though perhaps not late at night.
  • :BL!X:
    Great Novella
    An excellent piece of writing. Phil knows how to paint a picture with words and his characters are truely lifelike. The story is captivating; I sat in my car for fifteen minutes after getting home to finish the last chapter.
  • Merrickk
    Keep it comming Phil
    Phil Rossi rocks, not only are his stories unique and hold till the very end, but his vocal delivery is supreme. Keep them comming Mr. Rossi!
  • StingRay02
    Another great one from Rossi
    Eden is another great offering from Phil Rossi. Crescent was fantastic. Notes from the Vault were satisfyingly creepy. Eden's premise (a massive tree orbiting Uranus) is fascinating, and the characters presented are fully fleshed out and interesting. Well worth listening to.

    Give a listen
    Phil Rossi has a way of spinnig a space tale. The plot draws you in. From "Crescent" to this audiobook is great. Give it a listen to and you will be drawn into the world of "Eden".
